Digital Life (Absolut01) - Chapter 151

[one hundred fifty.]

Whether it is the Qiancheng Materials Research Institute invested by Lu Zhenyu or the Zhenyu Charity Hospital, it has been a long time since the

strong ones were built.

When it comes to the equipment of research institutes or hospitals, probably no one will make almost unlimited investment and modernization like Lu Zhenyu.

The materials lab equipment may not be very prominent yet.

After all, the most basic material laboratory is still the basic physical and chemical production and testing equipment, many of which are sites and mechanical destruction equipment for testing the basic physical and chemical properties of materials.

Apart from the two surface treatment equipment seized from the ultra-justice factory, the other equipment is not very prominent.

However, Zhenyu Charity Hospital is completely different.

All the international manufacturers of top medical equipment and equipment, as well as various spare parts and consumables, as well as storage, sanitation and disinfection manufacturers have wondered when they purchased and installed equipment in Zhenyu Charity Hospital: What exactly does Lu Zhenyu want to do? ?

Is he going to open a hospital, or is he going to collect and collect top-of-the-line equipment and equipment?

In the vast world we live in, there are many monsters and people who can be called monsters. Although it is strange to collect medical equipment and equipment, it is not incomprehensible.

After completing the entire construction process, Zhenyu Charity Hospital may be too small in scale compared to those large hospitals.

The whole hospital has only one single general ward and one bsp; however, there is no doubt that Zhenyu Charity Hospital has become the most advanced and comprehensive hospital in Asia.

Because all the entrances and exits are equipped with dust removal and sterilization channels.

There are cleaning robots in the entire hospital 24 hours a day for uninterrupted cleaning and cleaning. Zhenyu Charity Hospital may also be the cleanest hospital in the world.

The cleanliness of the entire building is fully up to operating room standards.

As for the staff?

With such a foundation and strong financial resources, the hospital has also quickly hired the world’s top experts in various disciplines, the top nursing staff, and the top medical institution operators.

Especially in neurosurgery.

In terms of microsurgery and brain surgery, Lv Zhenyu spared no effort to invite those doctors who can be called leaders of the discipline all over the world.

…the investment is definitely worth the money.

It’s not just patients who come here because of their reputation.

There are also many first-class doctors who keep improving their skills and knowledge.

However, Zhenyu Charity Hospital has very strict standards for admission.

They treat critically ill patients free of charge and whose families cannot afford medical care.

Those who have made outstanding contributions to the country and have a record of serving in the military are preferred.

In addition to general medical care, it is also possible to apply for participation in medical research programs that are a little experimental.

As for those who come here, it may not be a serious illness, but it is the same, as for medical fees.

That’s basically astronomical numbers.

The medical charging standards of Shanghai and even the whole country are not applicable to Zhenyu Charity Hospital.

Robbing the rich to help the poor?

Probably so.

Although it is possible that the main cost consumption still depends on Lu Zhenyu to allocate funds from his annual dividends, but from those rich people, at least the depreciation of the equipment can be recovered.

Due to the advanced and comprehensive equipment of Zhenyu Charity Hospital, many hospitals in Shanghai will send patients to Zhenyu Charity Hospital when they encounter some problems that cannot be handled by themselves.

The doctors of Zhenyu Charity Hospital will not intervene, except in the name of equipment usage fees.

Or let those hospitals handle it themselves, but ask to share cases.

This kind of very friendly move is very appreciated by many small and medium-sized hospitals and private hospitals in Shanghai.

And Zhenyu Charity Hospital is also steadily accumulating various difficult cases and treatment methods under the condition that there are few patients admitted.

Spring of 12 years.

April.

The various doctors in Zhenyu Charity Hospital, especially the doctors at the director level of each hospital, suddenly increased by several percent.

Some of them, even if they have nothing to do, will go to Zhenyu Charity Hospital when they are not on duty, and go to the doctors and nurses they know well to ask for news.

The hospital staff who had been issued a gag order for a long time responded to those people’s inquiries with a very kind and professional smile after training.

The attention they receive is not only from the medical world, not only from Shanghai, not only from China, but the whole world.

Since the establishment of the hospital in 2010, the research center of Digital Totem has transferred the prosthetic project team and the old man named Feng Jiang, who loves to play chess with a broken arm, from the factory-like environment of the research center.

In addition to taking 2 to 3 hours of various tests every day, Feng Jiang.

Just in the ward.

against the chessboard.

Although he can use the computer through his voice, Feng Jiang has no interest in computers.

Just play chess.

And the robot specially assigned to him will naturally find opponents for him on the Internet, and then put shogi on the chessboard for him.

Feng Jiang, who doesn’t know who his opponent is, doesn’t know how many opponents have changed, and doesn’t know that he has made a small reputation online.

Perhaps it is because he is rarely the one who has become more focused because of the loss of two arms.

And focus, to a certain extent, is a path to achievement.

At the very beginning, at the Digital Totem Research Center, researchers attached electrodes to his arms to test how the nerves and muscles in his shoulders produced extremely high levels of energy when he imagined various movements in his mind. Tiny bioelectricity.

Then, they compared these currents with the currents produced by normal people doing these actions, and then looked for a relationship between currents and motion control.

The arm is one of the most flexible parts of the human body, and there are so many changes involved.

In particular, with the change of the external environment, the body’s own adjustment and other activities will cause great interference to this signal. The noise that can never be filtered out on the oscilloscope has once made many technicians and medical workers angry. Gotta jump.

But after trying for a whole year, they finally managed to find the main pattern.

Since then, Feng Jiang has been able to connect the electrodes.

The first generation of prosthetic limbs are controlled by imagination to make basic movements.

Although that movement is so clumsy and inaccurate.

Feng Jiang, who had lost his hands for too long, was particularly difficult at this step, because using his hands was a very distant memory for him, and even his imagination lost its accuracy.

But.

Feng Jiang still felt hope.

When he could start using imaginary control to start picking up the cup, the project’s leading team came up with a solution that might be useful: to more accurately sense the body’s bioelectricity.

No external electrodes are used, but piercing needle electrodes are used.

Several able-bodied boys as a control group were also subjected to this test.

When the slender needle-shaped electrodes pierce the muscles and pierce the nerves, the feeling is almost unbearable for ordinary people.

It was difficult for them to describe what it was like, and whether it was pain.

They just know.

After each test that wasn’t too long, their hands were shaking as if they had been exercising for hours.

Soreness, numbness and itching continued to rise from the depths of the bone marrow.

At this time, Feng Jiang was almost grateful that he didn’t have his hands to tremble, but after all, he was old. Those young men might only feel bad about his hands and shoulders, but he seemed to be sore and itchy all over his body.

In addition to focusing on Go.

Apart from focusing on the black-and-white world and keeping your mind from experiencing your body, there is no way to resolve it.

The test is originally for more sensitive and further data, and things like anesthetics will definitely not be used.

The boys who did the control group test changed several batches, but Feng Jiang survived alone.

He gallops on the chessboard every day, and because of his unimaginable perseverance, he has won the respect of all the researchers in the entire project team and the entire hospital.

Yes.

respect.

When we live in a world where there are too many weak people who are ridiculed, such a person who has lost his hands, such an old man who can’t even take care of his own life, to be respected, it is indeed unimaginable to pay. cost.

After accumulating further data from the needle electrode test, Feng Jiang’s movements became much more precise, and Feng Jiang himself gradually became familiar with this method of generating current by imagination, and then relying on this weak current to control the movement. .

Although he still couldn’t perceive his hands, at least he could accurately pick up the pieces from the chess basket.

Then with clumsy movements.

Place the pawn in the correct place on the board.

Of course, if the technology ends here.

The digital totem’s efforts in this regard are at best a path that is different from the international institutions and individuals who conduct research in this area. Technology.

The ultimate goal of this technology is not just to move and move accurately, but to replace human limbs in all aspects.

During the tactile test, the entire top floor seemed to have become an interrogation room for torture to extract confessions, and people kept making heart-rending, long and loud screams.

This is mainly from the boys in the control group, because they have to experience cold, heat, different degrees of contact with the outside world through their arms, and use their bioelectric signals to collect and organize data.

Whether it is cold, heat, or external impact, the human body still has a very low limit after all.

When connecting the robotic arm composed of piezoelectric ceramic sheets and computer chips, complex electromagnetic joints and white silicone veneers to the electrodes on Feng Jiang’s shoulders, everyone’s respect for Feng Jiang, the old man, was further deepened. .

He didn’t shout once.

Even if it is due to the problem of current control, the external sense is amplified several times, or the various external changes and pressures that are applied to the robotic arm that exceed the limits of the human body are accurately reflected in the nervous system leading to his body. In the current, he never let out a single howl.

Even, howling would be a very normal reaction.

The staff of the project team have seen Feng Jiang clenching his teeth countless times, half of his face twitching because of his patience, and his teeth made a terrible sound of clenching and clenching, and even sometimes, There would be blood dripping from the corners of his mouth.

Feng Jiang has survived, and he has survived from the intensity of perception that is no less than that of being tortured.

As long as he took a breath, he would gasp for breath while searching for the right words in his chaotic brain to accurately describe his feelings.

If it weren’t for Feng Jiang, a strong man, this project would never have reached this point in 12 years.

In 2012, the project has undergone the final sprint of clinical testing.

The robotic arm system is now attached to the shoulder mounts and battery pack, much like a medieval European knight’s breastplate.

The retainers of the shoulder section and the casing of the battery system are ceramic.

The entire arm is wrapped in white translucent silica gel, and you can vaguely see the dense piezoelectric ceramic bioelectric sensing system and the mechanical structure of the joint part inside.

Since all the wires pass through the middle of the ceramic skeletal structure, the entire arm has a rather technical aesthetic.

The only thing that is a problem now is power consumption and computing power.

Due to the delay in making further breakthroughs in the problem of computer chips, the current robotic arm still uses an optical fiber to export computing functions to a server.

That is, the user of the robotic arm moves within the length of the optical fiber intelligently.

Before testing this new generation of robotic arms, Feng Jiang had rested for a few days.

In the past few days, he did not take the torture-like test, but, after such a long test, UU read www.

sonicmtl.com For him, manipulating the arm no longer requires too much concentration and concentration, but gradually overdoing it has become a conditioned reflex, a natural judgment made by the brain on the arm.

And his body, his brain, became acquainted with the signals coming through the electrical currents in the nervous system and responded.

Just as both parties made good preparations, on the eve of the May Day holiday, this great experiment was finally carried out under everyone’s attention.

Outside the largest ergonomic laboratory in the entire hospital, a group of well-known doctors across the country and the world, as well as some other people, watched Feng Jiang walk into the laboratory with a smile across the huge glass.

His severed arm, after so many years, has become a thorn in the flesh for these doctors.

However, on the fleshy branches, there were traces of dense needle electrodes that they had never seen before.

Seeing this situation, many people felt a little uncomfortable.

Feng Jiang sat on the operating chair, and the researcher installed the fixator and battery on his shoulder, and inserted the slender needle electrodes with cold light into his shoulders, connecting the muscles and nerves to him. Connected, hooked up the entire robotic arm and shoulder, plugged in the optical fiber, and turned on the switch…

No matter how he felt, the hopeful smile on Feng Jiang’s face never disappeared.
